[Dailydrool] The Tramadol Wars

[Esther Strom]

I have tasted both Tramadol and Cephalexin; there's a reason they don't 
want to touch it! Basil will snarf down the largest pills and capsules 
if I just toss them in with his food, but he managed to pick out the 
almost microscopic Tramadol from a huge bowl of chicken and rice. It's 
horrible - if by some chance it touches your tongue before it goes down, 
you can't get rid of the taste for hours.
